We are a local lodge of the Vasa Order of America, a Fraternal Society originally established for the benefit of Swedish immigrants more than a century ago, but now dedicated to preserving and sharing our Nordic culture and heritage.

Glenn T. Seaborg Lodge was formed in 1976 and draws members from the Orange County area of So. California. We welcome members and guests of all ages to our monthly potluck meetings and wonderful cultural programs. (We are dark in July and August).

This membership award winning lodge offers opportunities to socialize with fellow members of Nordic heritage sharing common history and interests. Special events for Seaborg Lodge are held in February (Pea Soup & Pancake Supper), June (Midsommarfest, Queen Pageant, Folk Dancing & Swedish Summer Dinner), and December (Luciafest, Pageant, and Smögåsbord).

Our lodge also awards a college scholarship to a student of Nordic descent--The Glenn T. Seaborg Scholarship--and there are many more scholarships for college, language camp and elderhostel offered in the District and Grand Lodge levels of our organization as well.
